When you take the "How Geeky are you" quiz on Farcebook and as a result of your perfect score, your friends all start calling you "The UberGeek"

A geek requires x+1 screens...As soon as you get that extra screen, you'll find a use for another one

Shrugs depends where I am I quite often have 3 but that is a little excessive. One of our 3rd level support guys has 5  In my opinion that's being greedy / showing off

I have three at work, though I often feel a fourth would be really handy...If I could get three more flatscreens I would build a shelf and have a 2x3 layout...

I screamed at a magazine today when I read the new Maltesers advert. They claim that their product contains "Less than 11 calories per sweet".
"Fewer" would sound a bit pathetic in a small advert, but it's correct at least.

You didn't set the ASA on them did you? Clicky.

No I never, but I am confused why I saw the advert today after the ASA upheld the complaint? Peter.

That would be the snails. All official decisions are transported by snails, and they are bound by contract to take the longest route.
